I believe in North, South, East, West, The seasons, life and death, geography. That which is provable, absolute and most of all, functional. I believe in things that can kill me.

More quotes by Henry Rollins
To this day, my haircut is the number two clippers, which I apply to myself every month.
Henry Rollins
Black Sabbath - one of the world's universal language of music. I felt proud, for three or four minutes of my life combining my voice with Tony Iommi's guitar sound.
Henry Rollins
Rush Limbaugh makes money getting simpleminded people to feel good about their intellectually undernourished brain spasms. He's very good at it, and I scarcely believe a fraction of what he says.
Henry Rollins
When you have to work with and exist amongst cynical, burned-out personnel on a set, it doesn't matter what you're shooting or how much you're being paid - it's not worth it.
Henry Rollins
I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
Henry Rollins
Some music really does suck!
Henry Rollins
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
Henry Rollins
If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
Henry Rollins
Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.
Henry Rollins
August in sub-Saharan Los Angeles is one of the great and awful tests of one's endurance, sanity and stamina.
Henry Rollins
Life is death in slow motion.
Henry Rollins
There's no rule that you have to like Henry Rollins the musician or the actor.
Henry Rollins
Music keeps you young. Having music in your life keeps you open to things.
Henry Rollins
As far as poetry, I don't know if I've ever written any. I've read a lot. I just write and it comes out in different forms and shapes. I don't know if I'm any good at it I just really go for it and I'm very prolific book wise only because I own the company. No one tells me 'no' around here.
Henry Rollins
I like it better that people aren't throwing stuff at my face and trying to fight me on stage. Like in the '80s, it was just aggravating all the time... I have scars from cigars and cigarettes on me, Bic pens, burns from cigarette lighters, all that.
Henry Rollins
A great way to learn about your country is to leave it.
Henry Rollins
I am an employment hyena. I am happy to make a meal of what the lions leave behind.
Henry Rollins
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
Henry Rollins
I get a lot of shit because I put I in the lyrics all the time. The I is always for someone else... When I say I, it's so that when that person is singing along with the song, it empowers them.
Henry Rollins
I'm not much of an improv guy. That's a talent I don't have.
Henry Rollins
